Is Obama Incompetent?

Filed under: opinion, obama — Me @ 17:44

Michael Goodwin writes in the NY Daily News that Obama has a serious problem - a competence problem. And its not just him, but the entire Administration.

Not long ago, after a string of especially bad days for the Obama administration, a veteran Democratic pol approached me with a pained look on his face and asked, “Do you think they know what they’re doing?”

The question caught me off guard because the man is a well-known Obama supporter. As we talked, I quickly realized his asking suggested his own considerable doubts.

Yes, it’s early, but an eerily familiar feeling is spreading across party lines and seeping into the national conversation. It’s a nagging doubt about the competency of the White House.

I am sorry, but this is simple common sense to me. How can someone with no work experience be expected to be competent at the hardest job in the world? Why anyone is surprised about Obama’s incompetence to run this country is simply beyond understanding. I highly doubt that any Board of Directors of any Fortune 500 company would hire Obama to be their CEO, yet we elected him to run the nation?

Obama is incompetent; both in the objective meaning of the word as measured by his experience (or lack thereof) and the subjective meaning of the word as demonstrated by his absolute and abject failure to lead in a time of crisis.
